Adelaide University Medical Orchestra
Established in 2008, The Adelaide University Medical Orchestra is the world’s first single faculty Medical Student Orchestra. With a great level of enthusiasm and immense musi¬cal talent within the medical school, the prospect of forming their own Orchestra was an idea they could bring to reality.
The music program has expanded to incorporate over 100 medical students – comprising an orchestra, stage band, vocal ensemble and dance crew. AUMO has provided an opportunity for medical students to express themselves through creative arts, while sharing our music with the wider community and raising awareness and funds for medical charities that contribute to the wellbeing of others.
Through 2008, members of the Orchestra embraced the opportunity to share its music at various medical and charity functions, as well as a Christmas Project at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and the Women’s and Children’s Hospital. In 2009, they will build upon their public performances and host their very own recital at Scott Theatre on May 24.
AUMO’s artistic style encompasses both classical masterpieces and contemporary works, along with innovative projects formed through arrangements and compositions by members of the Orchestra.
With so much to look forward to, stay tuned! 
AUMO’s Premier Recital...
It all began with a love of music.
We have nurtured it, cherished it and watched it grow.
Finally, after 9 months of anticipation, we are ready to deliver.
On the 24th May 2009, witness the miracle of aumogenesis: the birth of sound.
Audiences will be propelled through a spectacle of awe and wonder, as we extend and redefine the boundaries of orchestral music. We will challenge and broaden both musicians’ and audience’s perspective of music through a unique and vivacious culmination of music and other facets of the creative arts.

Corporate Cup is a team event run each year for all levels of fitness by Life Be In It. Running for most of Semester 2, Corporate Cup is held every fortnight by the banks of the Torrens. Teams of 5-7 walk or run around a circuit of either 2.75km, 4.5km or 7km. Needless to say, the 7km run is not for the faint-hearted, while those of you not really into running can opt for a shorter walk or jog. Across the 16 weeks of competition, 8 times are recorded and tallied up. Mostly, the teams entered are made up of office groups from the CBD. The AMSS enters as many teams as necessary and there are generally a fair number of participants.
